Offices Mathias is an architectural design office and studio based in west Los Angeles, California, and is founded by Joseph and Amy Mathias.

Our office strives to accentuate the built environments’ essential elements, while creating desirable spaces from the inside out.  Offices Mathias works within an organic framework, and approaches each design from a minimalist point of view.  We draw inspiration from many influences within the worlds of art and architecture. 

Working at a variety of scales, from furniture and single family homes to larger scaled projects, we believe in incorporating the natural environment and natural light into every design as primary sources of inspiration.  We strive to create buildings that live seamlessly with nature, and we believe in the value and capacity of good design to positively influence one’s wellbeing.   

We currently offer building design of new homes, renovation and remodeling projects, accessory dwelling units (ADU’s), home additions, interior design and spatial design consultations. We also offer rendering, drafting, and furniture design services.
